Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.
I just find the entire design appealing, the rules are cool as they have some pretty interesting loopholes to be exploited, its a battle royal style fighting arena and as it gets damage the terrain changes the dynamic of the battle changes accordingly. This latter part help stop the background from being too stagnant, unchanging and worst of all having no impact on the fight. The only real weak point is that the writers never quit full capture the battle royal like nature this arena was meant to provide.
This is a really weird pick, but I actually quite like the mountain road where the Androids owned all the Z Fighters. It's more visually interesting to me than "generic repetitive landscape for miles with no sense of geography" that's in most of the other battles.
With the exception of Namek most scenarios are either an arena or a run of the mill desert, so hard to tell. Probably a ruined city like the ones Gohan and Trunks fought the twins.
This would be a tie between city ruins in Future Super or someplace on Planet Namek (especially during final Frieza fight, when the planet is exploding). Can't choose one over the other.

I’ve always been a fan of battles over water. I’m not sure why but I really love seeing characters interact with water bursting everywhere so the battle on Namek is always fun.
Anywhere closed in or where they have to mind what techniques they can use can add fun elements as well
Also, it’s likely due to nostalgia but the rocky terrain where Goku and Vegeta fight for the first time is lots of fun.

The Kaioshin Realm and Space. Both of these locations sound very relating to climatic, most interesting and symbolic battles
People I'm always keen to Debate with for the sole purpose of increasing experience and joy:
Spoiler:
1.) People who depend on factual material, evidences and valid supports rather than speculation and opinions
2.) People who are ready to debate you and are capable of providing evidence on par, if not more, than me
3.) People who logically argue over things, and rightfully concede if they are wrong, without pointless resistance for the purpose of maintaining one's own beliefs. (This also applies to me)
4.) People who are blunt. Being so nice in debates is fine, but it sometimes restricts people from expressing all their knowledge and arguments. Though that doesn't mean you should be rude and disrespectful
5.) People who debate with passion. I don't stand debating with people who do not enjoy debating with me. It's fair that both me and the other debater are willing to Debate for the enjoyment of it
6.) People who don't like to drag a debate for long. Just debate for a specific set of point; Debating for a predetermined amount, and leave the debate as it is, left to be judged by others. Dragging debates pointlessly results in nothing but Agreeing to Disagree (forcefully) and sometimes flame wars, which aren't favourable results.
7.) People who argue with a powerful tone, though they must have the experience to back it up.
8.) People who show clarity. I need to understand the person I'm debating as much as possible. Though the one I'm debating, including me, should be capable of understanding the other in general, so no blaming would occur
9.) People who are capable of making worthy Rebuttals.
10.) People who are used to Debating Often.
With doing all that, My experience would increase dramatically, and my joy would jump even further. I'd like to make sure my time was never wasted while debating.

I enjoy the classic ring if we’re talking early series. When the characters still used more martial arts than ki blasts and such, it’s awesome. It does still have a nostalgic fondness to it but I’ve found it doesn’t seem to work as well once the characters surpass a certain level.
Having said that though...
Goten and Trunks’ fight is probably one of my favorites in the traditional ring. I love how it’s a simple ring out that does Goten in because his air brakes are less than perfect.

Yeah! I love the smaller scale of the classic ring, as the size puts a bit more pressure on getting a ring-out on your opponent. There are also several instances where the lack of a grand stand meant that you had more creative aerial recoveries, like Jackie using the Kamehameha.
Come to think of it, if Trunks and Goten fought in the classic arena, Goten wouldn't have been rung out!
I think Garlic Castle gets my vote here. It's up there as one of my favorite Dragon Ball settings anyway, but it also serves as a beautiful backdrop for fights.

The Tenkaichi Budokai ring would probably be my favorite if I had to limit it to the main series.
